Nazi Dagger - What's it Worth?

July 01, 2004 13:06

I have a customer who wants to put this dagger on consignment with me. I really don't know what it is worth. Are there any German WWII collectors out there that would be willing to help me? It has a logo on it "Paul Weyersberg - Solinger" Picture below: dagger.jpg"

That puppy looks really rough, and something about the hilt/swastika looks wrong for ginuine; I'd say as a reproduction, maybe $200-but if it's real (hard to tell in that pic), in rust-pitted condition, with big nick in blade, and chips on the grips; $200.
Almost all of the Officer's daggers I've seen had a small swastika that was attached to the hilt, but fit outside the scabbard like a clasp, rather than stamped.

If you know it all; you must have been listening.<br>WEAR EAR PROTECTION!

In doing some research, I do think it might be authentic. It appears to be a German Postal Officer's Dagger. However, I will admit, it's in rough condition. On the net, I found one in really, really nice condition that sold for about $3500.00. Since I don't specialize in daggers and knives, I assume that condition is a lot of the value. I am not sure what the "chip" on the blade is, but it's not really a chip. For sale purposes, I would certainly take greater care in photography [:)] Thanks for your input. I really appreciate it.
